It sounds like there is a intermittent power connection somewhere. I would try to get some wiring prints and see if there is a common power connection to those areas you mentioned and check that out. Tapping on suspected areas may show up the trouble.

I thought that all of the chimes worked through the radio on GMs now.

You very well may be correct Tardis and I really can’t say for sure without looking at some wiring prints. Perhaps power is being interupted to a seperate amp or powered speakers somehow or, there may be trouble with the radio internally if all the audio signals are passing through it and there is no seperate amplifier.
